EDCL Course

ECDL is Free

ECDL is Free

The ECDL qualification is free for all service personnel through the DELCs.

From the DELC website-Since 9th October 2006 ECDL has been centrally funded for Service Personnel (Navy, Army, RAF) and Civil Servants. In order to benefit from centrally funded ECDL, Civil Servants and members of the armed forces simply go to a MEMC centre. The verifier will issue new candidates with a unique registration number which entitles them to complete ECDL with BCS User Level 1 and 2. No payment will be taken.

If your PLA/TDO doesn't know this give them a shoeing - they're wasting a lot of money.

What does DELC stand for? maybe I can claim it back then. All I know is the learning centre said you couldnt use ELC for it; i`ll have a word with them and show them what you said.

You can also do loads of their courses online at work and at home through the Defence Learning portal (https://www.dlp.mod.uk).

I definitely intend applying for an ECDL course. Unlike some guys who have posted here and said it's a total waste of space, I have to disagree. For a few months now I have been looking at the vacancies in the local papers and quite a few employers have been asking for ECDL qualifications. The way I see it is if I going to get it for free or at a hugely discounted price then why not, you never know when it may become useful in the future do you?
